----* Wolf O'Donnell in ''VideoGame/StarFox64'' speaks with a [[FakeBrit faux English]] accent until in his death throes drops it for an American one to say "No way! I don't believe it!"** Similarly, in ''VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures,'' the American-sounding Fox has a tendency to lapse into British pronounciations of words. In the scene where he talks to Belina after rescuing her from the mines, Fox ''completely'' loses any traces of an American accent. It's just for a few lines, but still!** Let's not even get started with Krystal's [[FakeBrit faux British]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThIKPsjMWo0 accent]] in ''VideoGame/StarFoxAssault''.* Most of the supposedly American characters in ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'' are played by French actors, who sound convincing most of the time, but slip up occasionally.** "Most of the time" is awfully generous. Try a third of the time, especially for Ethan Mars.** Even worse are the kids, whose accents fall into WhatTheHellIsThatAccent category and whose lines are oftentimes incomprehensible were it not for the subtitles. ** Norman Jayden's voice and motion capture actor, Leon Ockenden, is from the U.K., but attempts to go for a New England accent with his character. Needless to say, it doesn't sound very convincing.** When Ethan screams for his son [[HollerButton JASON!]], it sounds more like he's yelling JAAAY-SUNG!* Creator/TimCurry frequently slips into his normal accent when playing a Russian during ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3''. This adds to the scenes though, rather than take away from them.** Tim Curry also voiced the titular character of ''VideoGame/GabrielKnight'' and even though he managed to do a southern American accent well, he slipped a few times here as well.* ''VideoGame/FarCry3'''s Jason Brody is supposed to be a [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents [=SoCal=]]] kid from Los Angeles. His voice actor, Canadian Gianpaolo Venuta, utterly failed. People who have never visited America or Canada ''might'' be convinced...if they're deaf. * Carlos from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis'' loses his latino accent partway through the game.** He [[NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent completely lacks an accent]] in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheUmbrellaChronicles'' and ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOperationRaccoonCity''.* Played with in ''VideoGame/GuildWars''. During [=EotN=]'s hero tutorial, Budol Ironfist states that he'll try to speak like a human (as opposed to the standard scottish dwarf accent). He continually lapses back into dwarf speech.* Conker in ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'' slips between British and American quite frequently.* The Irish Clover Bartender from ''VideoGame/{{Toonstruck}}'' constantly switched from an Irish to a Scottish accent, Flux Wildly points this out.** That was actually an aversion of both this trope, and the ScotIreland trope. Notice he's wearing a kilt, too; his accent ping-pongs back and forth because he's half Scottish, half Irish.* In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion]]'', a beggar with a raspy voice might suddenly perk up when you ask them about the weather. This is because only lines unique to the beggars (like asking for and receiving alms) were recorded with the "beggar voice." For any lines they share with non-beggars, like a generic response to requests for information, they simply [[NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent use the normal townsperson voice]].* In ''VideoGame/TheSaboteur'', Creator/RobinAtkinDownes tends to switch between the Irish accent his character is supposed to have and his British dialect.* [[CelebrityVoiceActor Ed Ivory]] has a cameo as the Human Noble's tutor in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins''. The fact that the tutor is practically the only human in the entire [[DoomedHometown Highever Castle]] with a noticeable American accent. However, this may be more of a NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent than this trope.* Variant: [[TheBaroness Kaptain Natashikov's]] voice actress in ''VideoGame/RogueTrooper: Quartz Zone Massacre'' can't decide if she's supposed to have a German or Russian accent.** [[FridgeBrilliance The Norts are supposed to be a]] [[CommieNazis combination of Germany and Russia.]]* The voice actress for the protagonist of ''VideoGame/AVampyreStory'' tries to mix a French accent with a Transylvanian one. Not surprisingly, her success is mixed as well, though she does a better job of it than you might expect.* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':** Mark Meer (the voice actor for male Shepard) is Canadian. He does his best to sound completely neutral in regards to accent, but it does slip through from time to time (most noticeably when saying "been" with a long E sound).** Canadian voice actor John Ulyatt does a decent Scottish accent as Engineer Kenneth Donnelly in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2''. However, his other big part in the game is arms dealer Donovan Hock (in Kasumi's loyalty mission) and is, to copy-and-paste from the ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' entry, "a truly fascinating trainwreck of an accent". It vacillates from American to Irish to Scottish to Russian and back again, often within the space of a single sentence. It was supposed to be a South African accent.** In-universe example: Brooks in the ''Citadel'' DLC has an accent that could be described as Australiamericanadienglish, depending on the line. [[spoiler:Until she's outed as a bad guy, at which point she turns out to have been legitimately faking it - badly - and returns to an English accent, which she keeps until her disappearance or death.]]* In ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' Bastila is voiced by Creator/JenniferHale, a Canadian (who also voices [[Franchise/MassEffect female Shepard]]). She fakes an Obi-Wan-style "Coruscanti" (British) accent.* In ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'', the Enclave President, John Henry Eden, is played by Malcolm [=McDowell=]; who attempts to sound like he's from the Southern US, for all of 3 minutes. [[spoiler:Arguably justified because he's a supercomputer.]] Likewise, James, the Lone Wanderer's father, is voiced by the North Irish actor Liam Neeson, and he doesn't hide it too well.** Liam Neeson fits this trope no matter what movie he does.* ''VideoGame/MegaManX4'' has this horribly in Iris' voice acting during [[spoiler: her death scene]]. The voice actress seems to randomly switch between standard American, British, and Texan. The end result is [[{{Narm}} hilarious, in a scene that's supposed to be completely serious, even sad]].* In ''MiniNinjas,'' most of the voice actors are trying to adhere to a ChopSocky accent, but commonly slip into more genuine Japanese accents. Huh.* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'''s habit of using generic dialogue for scenes where any character could be in the party has surreal results when Cyan slips out of his YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe accent, WildChild Gau loses his HulkSpeak, and Umaro stops his usual [[TheUnintelligible unintelligible howling]] to speak in totally normal sentences.** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' has this happen InUniverse when Reeve is identified as being Cait Sith when he begins talking in his natural accent (Kansai in the original, Southern in the English localisation), which he uses to voice Cait Sith, rather than the neutral accent the other Shinra members know him as having. Unfortunately, the game's inconsistent localisation meant Cait Sith loses his accent in many scenes before that, meaning a lot of players didn't realise he was supposed to have an accent...** In ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' we have Gabranth. Played by the Scottish Michael E. Rodgers in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'', Rodgers did a pretty good upper-class British accent for Gabranth in ''XII''. However for ''Dissidia'' he couldn't be reached so Square-Enix brought in TheOtherDarrin, American-born Keith Ferguson, who voiced Gabranth's brother Basch in ''XII''. Ferguson also doesn't do a bad job of making Gabranth sound British--he just can't seem to decide what ''kind'' of British to use, and quite often Gabranth slips from British into outright Cockney. This has inspired the MemeticMutation "HATRED IS WOT DROIVES ME!" Ferguson toned down the accent a bit for the prequel ''Dissidia 012''. The problem now is occasionally it's ''too'' toned down and he slips into NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent.** Wakka's accent slips briefly (but noticeably) early into ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' on the line "A flier? My kind'o customer!"* In ''[[VideoGame/BattlefieldBadCompany Battlefield: Bad Company 2]]'', SouthernFriedPrivate Haggard is played by a Canadian who puts on a fairly convincing Texan accent. However, there is one anomalous moment in the mission "Crack the Sky" in which he clearly says, "Are you sure a''boat'' that?" in response to a query from Sweetwater.* Revolver Ocelot's accent changes completely when Gray Fox lops off his hand in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid''.** [[spoiler: Happens in-universe when we slowly get the indication that Master Miller isn't Master Miller.]]** In ''Peace Walker'', Strangelove can pull this off around twice a sentence.* Carmelita Fox has a different accent in each of the three ''Franchise/SlyCooper'' games, from a slight Hispanic accent in ''VideoGame/SlyCooperAndTheThieviusRaccoonus'', to completely American in ''VideoGame/Sly2BandOfThieves'', to ''very'' Hispanic in ''VideoGame/Sly3HonorAmongThieves'' and ''Videogame/SlyCooperThievesInTime''. This is mostly caused by the fact that she also had [[TheOtherDarrin four different voice actresses]].* ''VideoGame/{{BioShock|1}}'' arguably does this intentionally to [[spoiler:drop hints that Atlas isn't all that he seems.]]** Also occurs in-universe when a side character from the audio logs is implied to have been killed [[spoiler:because she may have caught Atlas using his natural accent.]]** Likewise, Andrew Ryan affects an American announcer voice in the opening slide show and in other recordings, but sometimes lapses into his native Russian accent when he's speaking directly to the player over the radio. Perhaps the most obvious is when he speaks to Dr. Langford moments before [[spoiler:killing her]].* Despite maintaining a decent American accent for the most part of ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps'', Sam Worthington's Australian accent really does come through at times - Most notably, any time that he tries to shout or act emotionally.-->'''Mason''': Todaye is the daye we succeeyde.** "[[spoiler: Reznov]] killed him ROIT IN FRONNA ME!"*** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL_Pc2Aj48s&feature=youtu.be&t=1m21s EWE FACKING SUNNOVA BAYTCH!]]"** Thankfully, he's gotten a lot better with it by ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps2''. The game itself still has some examples, though-- Salazar's voice actor sounds as if he can't decide whether the character has a ''really'' thick Nicaraguan accent or barely any at all. * In ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonAndTheCuriousVillage'', [[spoiler:Flora]]'s first line, "well, I'd rather not say..." is spoken in a British accent, but she has a Western accent for the rest of the series. Also, from the second game onwards, there are few characters other than Layton, Luke, and Chelmey who even have British accents, despite being entirely set in England!** While Clive, Dimitri, and Claire from the third game have decent accents, the fact that some characters actually sound British makes the fact that some don't really jarring. Apart from Flora, Katia and Don Paolo stand out.* Morrigan's English voice in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' slips back and forth between British, American, and a strange attempt at Irish, even though she's supposed to be Scottish, and her voice actress is Welsh.* ''VideoGame/{{Hydrophobia}}'' does this to no end, it seems - Kate's accent shifts so often and frequently that it's like an international tour.* In ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'', Adam sounds very noticeably Brooklyn when trying to talk his way into the DPD morgue. At the time the scene's lines were recorded, Adam's character hadn't been fully fleshed out, so the accent wasn't completely set in stone.* The Penguin in ''VdieoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'', voiced by Nolan North, is supposed to sound like an archetypal working class London gangster. North's Cock-er-nee accent, worthy of the great Dick Van Dyke himself, varies between "not quite authentic" and "Australian". Perhaps Bob Hoskins wasn't available. May be justified given the Penguin's backstory in the Arkhamverse: he's from Gotham, he just hung out with street toughs while he was supposed to be getting an education in England, meaning the accent sounds fake because it ''is'' fake.** Happens again in ''[[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins Arkham Origins]]'', not just with the Penguin, but with his two henchgirls Candy and Tracey. [[spoiler:Earlier, when SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker poses as the captured Black Mask, he tries sounding like the latter, but comes off more like a Mafia gangster (not hiding the fact that Creator/TroyBaker voices both the Joker and the fake Black Mask). Then, when the real Black Mask, Roman Sionis (voiced by Brian Bloom), is brought before Batman, the former calls the Joker out, forcing him to scold Sionis for not "play[ing] along" ''[[ShockingVoiceIdentityReveal in his true voice]]!'']]* In ''VideoGame/PerfectDarkZero'', Joanna lacks her English accent from the original, at least partly due to the [[TheOtherDarrin change in voice actors]] from British to American.* [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Shadow the Hedgehog]], as voiced by David Humphrey in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' and ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes''. Shadow would usually speak in an American accent, but a few lines here and there would be spoken in an English accent. This case is strange because David Humphrey himself is American, and Shadow is decidedly not British.* In ''VideoGame/{{PN03}}'', during the cutscene when Vanessa discovers the clone of herself, she momentarily loses her German accent.* [[FriendlySniper Catherine O'Hara]] from ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles'' keeps changing between a Scottish accent and an Irish one. Although, [[SarcasmMode everyone knows that]] [[{{Scotireland}} Scotland and Ireland are the same]], [[SarcasmMode right]]?* In ''VideoGame/SyphonFilterTheOmegaStrain'' and ''Dark Mirror'', Mara Aramov has a noticeably weaker Russian accent than in previous games, at least partly due to being [[FakeNationality voiced by a Canadian-American]] (Creator/JenniferHale).* Depending on the scene, Ulrika of ''VideoGame/ManaKhemia2FallOfAlchemy'' can either have a strong Southern accent or ''no'' accent. When she's gone for a while without any noticeable accent, the scenes with the southern accent can be rather jarring.* The male dunmer in ''VideoGame/{{Skyrim}}'' tend to slip between Creator/KeithSzarabajka's native American accent and [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent some kind of overblown mixture of australian and cockney]], seemingly at random. This is especially noticeable with Erandur the dunmer companion, whose unique dialogue suffers a lot from this. * The Franchise/StreetFighter games have had American, British and other non-Japanese characters since the very first game, which debuted in the 80s, but did not have English [=VAs=] until atleast the late 90s. Characters like [[PatrioticFervor Guile and Charlie]] got off with a relatively competent facsimile, while characters like Cammy and M.Bison...[[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent not so much]]. * The commentators in the obscure 1997 sports video game ''Riot'' (a.k.a. ''Professional Underground League of Pain'') are voiced by British people trying to do American accents. It shows.----!!Examples in which this trope is in-character:* During a chat with Mad Moxxi in ''{{VideoGame/Borderlands 2}}'', she recounts her past history as a member of the Hodunk bandit clan. She gets so worked up, that she slips out of her seductress voice, and into the same thick, hillbilly accent the rest of the Hodunks speak in (including Scooter and Ellie, her children). She quickly catches herself, resumes her regular way of speaking, and asks you not to tell anyone.** In ''VideoGame/BorderlandsThePreSequel'', you need to use a secret exit in Moxxi's bar to leave Concordia for the first time. When you open the secret passage, you find Moxxi doing mechanic work in overalls, singing happily to herself in her hillbilly accent. Again, she is extremely embarrassed and asks you not to tell anyone...while the framing device is Athena telling a long story of what's she's done and seen to a group of people interrogating her, [[EverybodyKnewAlready who have no reaction to this revelation whatsoever]].* A non-regional accent version, but played very straight in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}''. Naoto Shirogane, the so-called 'Detective Prince', is a stoic teenage boy who is always serious, polite and correct. [[spoiler: Starting from when [[SweetPollyOliver 'he']] meets his Shadow, Naoto's voice has a habit of sliding into its true tone - a softer female register - when angered, embarrassed or otherwise caught off-guard. This is in keeping with her maintaining a masculine façade that forms an integral part of her character - Naoto believes that the police service is a man's world where women don't belong.]]* Maya Brooks of ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'''s "Citadel" {{DLC}} has a very...''dubious'' American accent, which inexplicably also seems to have more than a bit of Australian in it. [[spoiler:This is the first sign that she's not what she seems; after she's revealed to have been EvilAllAlong, she begins to use her more natural British accent.]]* Celestia Ludenberg in ''[[VisualNovel/DanganRonpa Trigger Happy Havoc: Danganronpa]]'' speaks with a rather faux-French accent to enforce the image of the graceful gothic lolita gambler. She temporarily drops it whenever she's sufficiently pissed-off, [[spoiler:like during her Villainous Breakdown during the 3rd class trial, while she's being exposed as the murderer from an elaborate scheme she came up with. When her real name, Taeko Yasuhiro, is revealed and she admits defeat, she drops it permanently.]]** Similarly, Teruteru Hanamura from ''VisualNovel/SuperDanganronpa2'' speaks in a rural dialect. When he gets angry, [[spoiler:like with Celestia, when people are getting close to outing him as the murderer]], he slips into a rural accent that is so difficult to understand that Monomi has to translate for the students. He more naturally uses the accent when he's talking with his mother in a flashback. His translated version's accent? It's ''Cajun''.* Used in-universe in VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII, when Reeve accidentally outs himself as a spy for AVALANCHE (and Cait Sith reveals that he's Reeve). The former speaks with a Kanto accent in the Japanese version, whereas the latter speaks with a Kansai accent. During the incident with the Mako cannon, Reeve starts speaking in Kansai, and Cait Sith in Kanto. The English version doesn't do this; presumably if they remade the game, they would use American and Scottish accents respectively.* Vanille's voice actress in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' is Australian, but Vanille herself can't seem to decide if she's Australian, Cockney (which is the forefather to Australian), or some oddball hybrid of various Australian and British accents. However, [[spoiler: it turns out Vanille, and her accent, are from Pulse; something she was trying to keep hidden. When this fact [[TheReveal comes out in the open]], [[AccentRelapse she stops trying to disguise her accent]]]]. Fang, on the other hand, who doesn't have an Australian voice actress, is pitch-perfect Aussie, [[spoiler:because she wasn't trying to hide it in the first place]].* Zeke in the VideoGame/{{inFamous}} series tends to go in and out of his Southern accent with it sometimes being very noticable and other times it will be almost non-existent.* Wheatley in ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'' slips out of his British accent in a few places. Listen closely when he uses the extended card-games metaphor and when he boasts about reading books. Since Stephen Merchant, his voice actor, is from Bristol, UK, he was clearly doing it deliberately.* The Spy from VideoGame/TeamFortress2 has voice clips where he tries to actually imitate the other characters, sometimes to mock them. One that gets used for fan videos quite often is [[FunetikAksent "Why don' we head on beck to tha base, pardner?"]] in a [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents butchered American Southern accent]] when disguised as the Engineer. This contrasts to the actual gameplay mechanic of voice commands becoming that of whomever the player is disguised as. It seems the spy himself might not be as good an actor as one would think.----
